The full-service oil change is first come, first served, and for Spanish Springs we pay particular attention to the vehicles that tow. ★★★★★ 4.8 stars from 339 Google reviews No community we serve owns more vehicles per household than Spanish Springs: 2.74 in the CDP, with 88.5 percent of households owning two or more (Census ACS 5-year 2024). A lot of that count is boats, trailers and the trucks that pull them to Pyramid Lake, and towing is the single clearest case of severe service in any owner's manual. This page is about those trucks, the Pyramid Highway commute, and the trip down to 4993 Longley Ln. ## Towing changes the interval Pulling a boat up the Pyramid Highway grade, or a travel trailer over Donner, loads the engine and transmission far harder than the same miles unloaded. Oil runs hotter, and heat is what breaks oil down. Every manufacturer puts towing on its severe-service schedule, usually alongside dusty roads and extreme temperatures, both of which Spanish Springs has. AAA's guidance is that many modern engines on synthetic oil go 5,000 to 7,500 miles between changes, that the owner's manual sets the number, and that severe service shortens it. A tow vehicle belongs on the shorter figure, and its differential and transfer case fluids, which we check on request, deserve a look at the same time. ## The Pyramid Highway commute The mean commute from 89436 is 26.0 minutes, and from the Spanish Springs CDP 33.0, with 79 percent driving alone (Census ACS 2024). Most of it is Pyramid Highway south to Sparks and Reno, a mix of steady highway miles that are easy on oil and the stop-and-go at McCarran and the Spaghetti Bowl that is not. The valley is also high and cold: the Reno airport logs 122 freezing nights a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals), and Spanish Springs, higher and more open, sees more. Cold starts on thick oil are where engine wear concentrates, and a full synthetic that flows at low temperature is what most newer trucks and SUVs specify. ## Getting to Longley Lane Pyramid Highway south to I-80 west, I-580 south to the Mill Street exit, then Longley Lane south along the airport to 4993 Longley Ln. OSRM free-flow routing says about 24 minutes from Wingfield Springs and about 28 from the north end of the valley; Pyramid Highway traffic can add to that. Sparks Boulevard to Greg Street to Rock Boulevard is the surface alternative. Mae Anne Avenue in northwest Reno is about 27 minutes if you are headed that way instead. ## The full-service oil change, with the towing extras | Included | Detail | |---|---| | Oil and filter | Up to 5 quarts of the manual's grade (conventional, synthetic blend, full synthetic, high-mileage or diesel) and a new oil filter | | Chassis | Grease points lubricated where the manufacturer specifies, which on trucks is often several | | Driveline | Differential and transfer case fluids checked on request; transmission fluid level checked every time | | Filters | Engine air filter inspected and shown; cabin filter on request | | Fluids and safety | Brake, power steering, radiator and washer fluids; tire pressure; headlights, tail lights and wipers; battery test on request | | Finish | Oil-change light reset, findings explained, your call on anything more | ## Hours, no appointment, and the smog check Longley Lane is open Monday through Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to 3, closed Sunday; call (775) 828-6996. Spanish Springs is inside the Washoe County emissions-testing area, so a vehicle registered there needs an annual smog check from its fourth registration on, with a passing test valid for 90 days (Nevada DMV). Longley Lane tests; the [Spanish Springs smog check page](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/smog-check-spanish-springs/) has the rules. Bring the tow rig in before the first lake weekend and get the oil, the driveline check and the smog done together. ### Sources - [data.census.gov/](https://data.census.gov/) (Census ACS 5-year 2024, Spanish Springs CDP and ZCTA 89436: vehicles per household, households with 2+ vehicles, mean commute, drove alone; read 10/15/26) - [ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (NOAA 1991-2020 normals, Reno-Tahoe International Airport freezing nights; read 10/15/26) - [project-osrm.org/](https://project-osrm.org/) (OSRM free-flow routing from the 89436 and Spanish Springs centroids to each service center, 10/15/26) - [aaa.com/autorepair/articles/how-often-should-you-change-your-oil](https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/how-often-should-you-change-your-oil) (AAA oil-change interval guidance; read 10/15/26) - [dmv.nv.gov/emission.htm](https://dmv.nv.gov/emission.htm) (Nevada DMV emission control program; read 10/15/26) ### Closest service center: Reno South - Call [(775) 828-6996](tel:+17758286996) Mon-Fri 8 am-5 pm, Sat 8 am-3 pm, Sun closed - Address [4993 Longley Ln, Reno, NV 89502](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=4993+Longley+Ln%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89502&destination_place_id=ChIJc5xNCcI_mYARXjHn3y79iJw) [Xpress smog checks here](https://xpresssmogcenter.com/) [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=4993+Longley+Ln%2C+Reno%2C+NV+89502&destination_place_id=ChIJc5xNCcI_mYARXjHn3y79iJw) ### The drive About 24 minutes (11.9 miles) to the Reno South service center by car in light traffic, OpenStreetMap routing (OSRM), retrieved 10/15/26.

Longley Lane at about 24 to 28 minutes by OSRM routing, depending on where in the valley you start; Mae Anne Avenue is about 27 to 30. ### Do I need an appointment? No. Drive in Monday through Friday 8 to 5 or Saturday 8 to 3.
